ORIGINAL: FemalecumLover My kink is better than your kink? Never! It is just our way of doing things. What we all need to remember is my kink and your kink is, in the end,OUR kink, and we really need to learn to stand together and respect one another for our individuality as well as our collective identity. If we in this lifestyle cannot learn from each other and stand side-by-side in the defense of our rights to practice what we so dearly love how can we expect others to look at us any differently when we cannot even do that with each other? Remember United we stand, Divided we fall. miria hunter for all CM members ... I respect you all I'd rather have your authentic hate than unearned respect. Hate, at least, I will have earned. The blog is rather dehumanizing in my opinion and very shallow. It takes the smallest piece of me and assigns an intrinsic value totally disregarding any other qualities that I may have.. whether those qualities are noble in nature or vile in action .. and tosses them aside for the sake of standing side by side in unity. Not in this world. Some of us stand, some of us kneel and many do both. Standing side by side, elbow to elbow as it were, makes it quite difficult to swing the flogger with accurancy and when it comes to kink, I want to be on Top or on bottom, in front or in back.. not side by side. We have places such as CM for chit chat, education, sharing.. the occasional joyful trainwreck, but if someone is coming here seeking to gain unearned respect, for the most part, it's just not going to happen. Courtsey, I believe is owed as a first course of action. Clarity, I believe is generally warranted when there is honest miscommunication and, ideally, will be offered. Expectations beyond those two things can diminish the quality of the time which one chooses to spend in these forums or in other venues. Generally, the boards (and your world) will be exactly as you want them to be. You have that power.. we all do. If you wield it and use it wisely your experience here can be enriched. Your experience can also feel like a train wreck so I guess how you lay the track is going to determine how bumpy or smooth your ride is here and in life.
